Stevie Nicks Illusion:  Hailed As The Most Authentic-Sounding Tribute To Fleetwood Mac
Fronted by the haunting vocals of Diana Grace, whose portrayal of Stevie Nicks from the band’s iconic 1970s era is nothing short of “spot on,” SNI delivers a powerful and immersive musical experience.  What sets SNI apart is their world-class musicianship, on-stage chemistry, and completely live performances—no backing tracks. Their setlist showcases the very best of Fleetwood Mac, along with select favorites from Stevie Nicks’ solo career, delivering a concert experience that’s both electrifying and intimate. Each show is a magical, shared journey that connects deeply with audiences and leaves fans wanting more.

Gather your friends and family, grab your blankets or low lawn chairs, and settle in under the stars for an evening of fantastic live music and toe-tapping fun. Enjoy a relaxing night with a picnic basket of your favorite treats or explore the delicious food options from our on-site food truck vendors.  It’s the perfect way to kick off the summer evenings with great vibes and good company!
